Maybe you think that following peace and not a diet sounds too good to be true.

Well, the good news is that it is TOO GOOD and best of all it is TRUE.

We are living proof. And the cool thing is this: Our lives have not only changed in the area of our eating and the way we view our body, but also in every other area of our life! Following peace has literally given us a 180.

Yes, Peace with Food is a 180 from diets.

So what does it mean to follow peace, you’re wondering?

Following peace simply means that you are making choices that you will not only be happy with now, but also choices you will be happy with down the road. Peace with Food sees the now as well as the big picture.

One way we have learned to follow peace is to give our selves permission to eat the foods we love {even if these foods are considered “bad” by some}. We know that depriving our selves of these foods is a recipe for disaster.

That doesn’t mean that we don’t set limits on the food we love. We still have to use wisdom because there is no peace in excessive weight gain and poor health.

Another way we have learned to live in peace is in choosing our physical activity. Because Lara is not a fan of traditional exercise, she stays fit by being active around the house doing DIY projects and chasing kids. Robynn, on the other hand, likes working out, but she doesn’t want to be tied down to a workout plan, so she constantly mixes it up with running, light weights, and workout videos. When the weather is nice she takes it outdoors.

That’s just a sampling of what we do. The question is, what works for you? What choices will give you peace in the now as well as in the future? That is the answer you are after.

That is what it means to follow peace.

Take-Home Message:

Follow peace by making choices that bring you peace not only now but in the future as well.
